We have chosen selected photos of the wildlife that calls Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary home and showcased them here with our theme. To find out detailed information about these animals, visit www.koala.net!
The start up sound in this theme is the koalas' mating call. We know that it sounds like a pig, but it really is the call of a koala (find out more at www.koala.net/animals/animals.htm). If you really want to experience this first hand, you'll just have to visit us in Queensland, Australia!
All Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary themes create a directory
called "C:\Program
Files\Plus!\Themes\Koala Themes" and store the various icons, sounds and themes
in this directory. You can choose a different directory during extraction of the
files.

| Q: | What do koalas eat? |
| A: | Koalas only eat
certain types of Eucalyptus leaves. Out of Australia's 600 species of eucalyptus,
koalas regularly eat only around 50! Eucalyptus leaves contain approximately 50% water so koalas generally don't need any additional water. "Koala" is an Aboriginal word, believed to mean "doesn't drink", although occasionally koalas may drink water. At Lone Pine, freshly-cut leaves are provided at 3:00pm week days and 9:00am on weekends. |
| Q: |
Can koalas swim? |
| A: | While they are not good swimmers, in an emergency koalas can swim. |
| Q: |
How long do koalas sleep for? |
| A: | Koalas spend about 18 hours per day sleeping or resting. By resting or sleeping most of the day, koalas are ale to conserve their energy. |
| Q: |
How do koalas stay so clean? |
| A: | Koalas groom themselves by combing their fur with their hind claws. The second and third toes are joined together giving a pair of claws which make an excellent grooming tool. |
| Q: |
Koalas look drunk sometimes. Are they? |
| A: | Koalas do not get intoxicated from gum leaves. Their sleepiness is an adaptation to the low calorie content of gum leaves. |
